I had a doctor back in my home country who was fascinating. He would give me hard facts about everything and he would explain all the reasoning behind his recommendations with numbers, probabilities, etc., putting everything down on paper. I loved being treated by that guy. I wish every doctor were like this.
Here in the US I've only so far had the tipical experience of:
1) Telling my symptoms.
2) Observing that half of what I'm saying is being ignored - this pisses me off because I'm very obsessive about my health, so any interested doctor can hear me give them extremely accurate descriptions of what I'm feeling, and how those things relate to daily activities, eating habits, exercise, other symptoms and a number of other things.
3) Being diagnosed with something I'm very sure I don't have (and I'm right most of the time). It's usually something super generic, like "upper respiratory infection".
